July 2017 eth was going through 50TH/s and was priced about 150$
just saying, im looking for good trades from now on etc, bullish, doesnt matter if eth succeeds or not for me
so the increase in rate I mainly see as more security for instance.
In regards to the merge, not sure how this all will play out with two chains, two sets of NFT's, chaos, possible exploits and all that, but I do know there are some plays to consider, risky.. yes... but potentially rewarding ones.
On a side note... best to be looking at privacy coins as well.
Note- i'm not a financial expert
